With the premiere of Sharknado 2 right around the corner, you’re probably doing everything in your power to make sure the viewing experience is the best it could possibly be. In between ordering your third platter of wings and making sure the bartender is booked for four hours (not three like last time), you should check out the latest update to the SyFy Sync app.

Unless you’ve got one of the special Philips Amilight televisions, or you have your living room rigged up to a Huey setup, there’s a disconnect between your television and the lights in your living room. If you have smart bulbs, there’s just no reason for this. Obviously SyFy agrees, because they have added Hue support into the latest update to SyFy Sync. This means SyFy’s second screen app will not only provide you with additional information on the movie while it is playing, but the app will change the lights in your room in real time to match the scene you are watching.

Once the app is opened for the first time, it will automatically detect that you have Hue lights on your network and offer to connect to them for you. Tapping your connect pad will sync the lights to your app, and from there you can choose what lights you want to sync to the television. After this setup is complete you will see a listening icon in the corner to let you know that the app is running, and if you are using SyFy Sync with content that supports Hue the lights will immediately start to change as instructed.

While the Sharknado plug is a cute way to continue driving people to the sequel, this is something that would be perfect with other SyFy content. It’s probably a lot easier for SyFy to set this up for something like Sharknado instead of weekly shows like Defiance, but hopefully this is something the company decides is a big deal moving forward.
